Finally, we have something in common with Rick Santorum: the former senator’s camp thinks Newt Gingrich’s book tour/presidential campaign is so tiresome, that according to The New York Times, “a top strategist for Mr. Santorum has been reaching out to a counterpart in the Gingrich campaign over the past three weeks to try to persuade Mr. Gingrich to withdraw for the good of the conservative movement.”

Gingrich’s spokesperson said the “campaign will go on for many more months,” despite Santorum’s entreaties to retreat. History suggests that Gingrich will not abandon the presidential race until the presidential race gets sick, or refuses to let Gingrich have flings with other presidential races. The French presidential race for example—that could be thrilling.
